After your comprehensive eye exam and your binocular vision dysfunction specialists identify vision irregularities, they may prescribe you to wear eyeglasses. We’ll then help you choose a frame style that fits your face and suits your lifestyle. And the process doesn’t stop here. We may also ask you if you want to add lens coating.
We offer several kinds of lens treatments that can help enhance your eyeglasses’ performance, durability, and appearance. Here are some of the most common ones:
Scratch-Resistant Coating
Scratches on your lenses are not only distracting, but they can also compromise your visual clarity and safety. Thankfully, the front and back of your lenses can be treated with scratch-resistant coating. This clear lens treatment makes your lenses harder, making it more resistant to scratching. Whether you (sometimes) clean your glasses with shirt ends or accidentally drop them from a height, you can be assured they will remain blemish-free.
UV-Protective Lens Treatment
Too much exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage that’s beyond skin deep. They can also cause vision problems, such as cataracts, pterygium, and more. This is why your eye doctor may recommend upgrading your eyeglass lenses with UV-protective coating. Just as sunscreen lotions prevent UV light from harming your skin, this lens treatment also blocks the sun’s rays—both UVA and UVB—from compromising your eye health.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Another lens treatment you may find useful is the anti-reflective (AR) coating. This microscopically thin, multilayer lens coating helps reduce reflections coming from the front and back sides of your eyeglass lenses. As a result, glare can also be eliminated, making for your better and more comfortable vision when driving at night, reading books, or using devices.
Anti-Fog Lens Treatment
Nothing’s more frustrating than the weather’s unpredictability. Not only does your body have to adjust to the differing temperatures, but coming in from the cold can also fog up your glasses and make it hard for you to see. With the anti-fog coating, your lenses and your vision can stay clear even as you step in from a cold place to a warm one.
